My plan - total beginner!

So I'm a total noob when it comes to growing, but I've got seeds in the mail and a foolproof (hah) plan to get these little beans to transform into delicious buds.

I'd appreciate anyone with experience critiquing my plan :)

Unfortunately it's going to be a guerrilla grow because I'm living with my parents for now. To make matters worse, I have nowhere in the house to strengthen the seedlings before I throw them out into the wild.

I think I have a good idea to minimise the harm, though. I've got several large plastic bottles which I'll fill with soil and plant the seeds inside once they've germinated. After they sprout I'll take them to the grow spot and leave them until they get too big for the bottles, then chop the bottoms and tops off the bottles and bury them in pre-prepared holes. They'll be 10" tall by then so hopefully with a bit of watering, nutrient-giving and applying slug pellets, they slowly grow into nice big indicas and I reap the harvest several months later after killing the males.

Any thoughts? Am I doing something horribly wrong and not realising it?

Oh and another noob question that I can't find the answer for - how should I germinate the seeds? I've heard paper towels is a bad idea because it breaks the microscopic root foundations, and I've heard soaking in water is a bad idea because it deprives them of oxygen, *then* I've heard it's easy to accidentally germ them upside down in soil which kills them.

HELP! lol

yeah man, let em do they thing ya hear. germination: cut a plastic 16oz party cup in 1/2. fold a damp paper towel in 1/2, 3times exactly. put the seeds on 1/2 of paper towel. fold it(paper towel) over. place in cup. put a bendable desk lamp over the cup for warmth 24/7. they germinate between 1 - 7days usually. isuppose your doing tis in the spring? unless your in the tropics, right?

Thanks bro, I'll do the paper towel method of germing them :)
Don't worry, as soon as the seeds come I'm germinating them in my room and taking them out. I never keep anything in the house.

I didn't even need a light, I just put the seeds in warm moist (moist does not mean wet...) paper towel in a tupperware. Then put it in a warm spot like on top of a dvd player or something and within a few days mine popped, but I've read it can take upwards of 7 days. Although I'm not sure this option is best, I've never tried any other besides placing directly in soil in little pots and tupperware with a moist paper towel on the bottom lol.
